welcome back kotter- 3 substitute teachers

[@ardakkumerian8088]

I was an LA Rams fan in 1977. I recognized defensive tackle Larry Brooks instantly. People who know Larry Brooks say he is a super nice guy. Larry Brooks was the D-line coach of a Packers Super Bowl winning team. He deserved a Super Bowl ring.

Hey that is the doorman from the Jeffersons. I guess he realized being a teacher is too dangerous for his health.

Juan Luis Phillipe de Huevos Epstein. We salute you.

Have to watch out for the booby traps

[@boardmanfan]

I always remembered that particular scene and was lucky enough to find it on KZbin. I loved that show when I was a kid. Comedies are so much different than back in the day and the ones today aren't even funny in my opinion.

[@montygreen6228]

I agree with your comment.👍.As a show that is no longer funny(my opinion) I was thinking of Saturday Night Live.Back in the early years it was funny. It had many funny actors on the show. Today me and my friends watch the entire show with a straight face.We rarely laugh.I stopped watching the show altogether.

It is so funny how Epstein just gets up whistling and draws the different teachers and crosses them out so perfectly.

[@OldeSkool1]

This show is so silly but I still laugh my ass off.

Today Juan would be doing that on a smart board. It wouldn't have been as funny.

I remember this episode, It was one of my favorites, Welcome back Kotter was a true classic TV show.

[@montygreen6228]

Now I know why Ralph the doorman from the Jeffersons became a doorman instead of a substitute teacher. He couldn't survive as a substitute teacher.

[@sha11235]

This was actually during the Jeffersons' run.

I think with the first one, he acts so nervous talking to them that Juan knows he can pull the drawing gag. Same with the second one to a lesser degree. When he sees the third one and it's a big black man, he's like, "Oh, shit!"

[@piperagnew2668]

I know right

[@daviddufresne343]

This is too true. My group of friends messed with all the teachers except for Mr. Z, who was built like a bodybuilder. One time I asked them, this being the 90s and teachers couldn't hit students anymore, why they didn't mess with him, it wasn't like he could hit them or anything. They were like "You never know!"

I don't get it. Is the joke that the third substitute is strong enough to fight the students if they are insubordinate?

[@americangiant1003]

Exactly. FYI. This "sub" was actually in real life a former NFL Football player.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Not "fight", but to discipline if they get out of hand. This was a class room for "troubled students", who got kicked out of the normal classes. My schools back then had no such thing, but a teacher would discipline a student once in a while. In my young teen days, (Michigan USA), a teacher could use a wooden paddle and smack your azz for punishment for something, but that has been made illegal.

[@sha11235]

Yeah, the other two weren't strong enough to handle these class clowns, but this guy was big enough to take them down. How hard is this to understand?
